Website Screenshot Pro — clean screenshots without cookie banners

Take clean screenshots of any website in bulk: cookie consent banners, newsletter pop-ups, subscription asks and ads are removed automatically before the capture. Full page or visible area, desktop, laptop, tablet or mobile, PNG, JPEG or PDF.

Why this screenshot tool?

Most screenshot tools capture whatever is on screen — usually a big "Accept cookies" box covering half the page. This Actor:

• ✅ Removes cookie banners — clicks "accept" on common consent platforms (OneTrust, Cookiebot, Didomi, Usercentrics, Quantcast, TrustArc, Sourcepoint and generic banners in 15+ languages) and hides what is left.
• ✅ Removes pop-ups and overlays — newsletter boxes, "support us" bars, chat bubbles, sticky bottom bars. The site's top navigation is kept.
• ✅ Blocks ads and trackers — cleaner images and faster loading.
• ✅ Loads lazy images — scrolls through the page first, so full-page captures are not full of grey placeholders.
• ✅ Real devices — desktop 1920×1080, laptop 1366×768, iPad Pro, iPhone 15, or any custom size.
• ✅ PNG, JPEG or PDF, full page or viewport, single element via CSS selector, dark mode.
• ✅ Pay only for screenshots that worked — failed pages are listed with the reason, but never charged.

Use cases

• Website monitoring and visual archives (compliance, legal evidence, competitor tracking)
• Thumbnails and previews for directories, link lists and dashboards
• SEO and marketing reports, landing-page swipe files
• QA: check how pages look on mobile and desktop
• Feeding page images to AI / vision models

The image files are stored in the run's key-value store; screenshotUrl is a direct link. Export the table as JSON, CSV or Excel, or use the API.

Pricing

Pay per successful screenshot: $0.005 per screenshot ($5 per 1,000), any format and size. Failed or blocked pages cost nothing. Platform usage is included.

Tips

• Site blocks the request (HTTP 403)? Turn on the proxy option (residential proxies work for most protected sites).
• Animations or late content? Increase "Extra wait before capture" or use "network idle".
• Just one part of the page? Put a CSS selector into "Capture only this element", e.g. #pricing.
• Want the page exactly as visitors see it, banner included? Switch off banner and pop-up removal.

FAQ

Is it legal to take screenshots of websites? Capturing publicly visible pages is generally fine; how you use the images (copyright, trademarks) is your responsibility. Do not capture pages behind logins you are not authorised to use.

How long are files kept? As long as your Apify data retention for the run's storage. Download what you need to keep.
